"Steal This Book"
 30+ years ago Abbie Hoffman published "Steal This Book", subtitled "A Handbook of Survival and Warfare for the Citizens of Woodstock Nation." The Table of
Contents included such "relevant" and "useful" topics as lists of communes,
hitch-hiking, panhandling, free dope, guerrilla broadcasting, political asylum,
and fake ID papers. However, buried in Yippie rhetoric were "the demands for a
free society. A community where the technology produces goods and services for whoever needs them, come who may."
The methods were radical, the hopes for the future were not. And--as if
foreseeing the world of free information access we are currently just
starting to explore, he said, "Freedom of the press belongs to those that
own the distribution system. Perhaps that has always been the case, but in a
mass society where nearly everyone is instantaneously plugged into a variety
of national communication systems, wide-spread dissemination of the
information is the crux of the matter."
Not so far out and not so far
off, Abbie.

What self-respecting Boomer wouldn't want to take a trip back to the late sixties? My new Amazon best-selling novel, Beyond Nostalgia, will bring you back. Zippo lighters, English Leather, Kools, Aqua Net hairspray, literatue and romance--it's all there.
Beyond Nostalgia is also on three Amazon "Top Rated" charts and has twenty-five stunning 5-star reviews. Check them out, if you have a moment. I think you just might enjoy this one.
